Sensual bath towel - towel discontinued by Close2You - review by jmex83

The Sensual Bath Towel by "Close2You" is an all white, cotton bath towel. This towel sports a "Close2you" logo that is sewn into the fabric in the center of the towel. The towel measures 52 inches long and 29 1/2 inches wide. It is roughly the same size as a large bath towel or slightly smaller than a beach towel.

This bath towel is made from 100% cotton. The towel can be washed in the washer and dried in the dryer. Something that I learned from SexyRayne's review (and this is a really great tip that I will be using from now on!) is that if you use fabric softener in the dryer, with your towels, it makes it so that the towels will not absorb as much water while drying. (Great tip!) So, keep that in mind. This towel already doesn't absorb water very well. I mean, it does, but its not one of those fluffy spa towels that you just want to lay in after a shower. It does take quite a bit of time to make sure that the towel soaks everything up.

Because of the logo that is embroidered onto this towel, I would not suggest using bleach. This will damage or discolor the logo. If that is something that doesn't bother you, go for it! Otherwise, stay clear.

The towel came folded in half and inward on the sides, in a clear, thin, plastic bag. Nothing special about the packaging. It does have washing instructions "dos and don'ts" on the very small, thin tag that is sewn into the towel.

Overall, I think that it is a pretty nice towel, but the price is a bit steep. We received our towel back when it was a buy one get one free, which is about the same as what we would pay in stores, so we jumped on the sale. If this were full price, I would not have purchased it. I think $10 would definitely buy a fluffier, fuller towel elsewhere.

You could use this towel for after the shower, bath, hot tub, pool, swimming, or even to clean up sex messes OR after a massage. A little note: because of the color of this and the material of this towel, I would suggest not using for massage and sex clean up, simply because this may leave stains. If you don't care, then its not a big deal. Would make a nice towel if you plan to have a spa party with your girlfriends (such as what my wife will be doing next month-Having a small EdenFantasys spa party with the girls!).

We have had this towel for close to three months or so and so far, no problems with fraying or anything weird with washing or use experiences. So far, so good. It has seemed to fluff out a bit more than it was when we first got it (it was rather stiff at first), but what I don't like is that if you hold the towel up to the light, you can see light come in through the weaving/stitching-which makes me think that the towel is quite a bit too thin. That is just my opinion though.

After sending these towels through a few wash and dry cycles, they have fluffed out a bit. I think that they were scratchy to begin with because they were straight from the manufacturer. Which happens. We tried a few different liquid laundry detergents on them and tried a few different ways of drying them. We tried hang drying them and that did not go over well at all. They were stiff and didn't feel so nice (we used liquid fabric softener the first time around, which I was unaware that that was not a good idea). We tried using no dryer sheets and did the dyer on the "delicates" air dry cycle, which seemed to work best. Overall, not bad towels but I won't be paying the $10 a piece for them, not for the quality. They still really don't hold a candle to our fluffy bath towels from Target. Though, my wife will be using these when she does the spa parties with her girlfriends, so I suppose they'll serve some sort of purpose.
